Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Spring in the Palace

As soon as the Queen Mother left, the Emperor kept looking at the empty table. He felt irritated and irritated, and he also wanted to leave.

He had just said he was leaving, and Langya felt that it would be bad for the emperor's health if he was allowed to suffer like this, so she advised him to stay a little longer.

Originally, this day of universal celebration should have been spent in harmony and happiness, but the Emperor was in deep distress because of the concubine's extramarital affair.

Concubine Xian is so confused that she is so indecent. She is a concubine, holds a high position, and is deep in the harem. Doing this will simply ruin the reputation of the entire harem.

Because of her improper behavior, the emperor's good mood was ruined, and even his birthday celebration, which he used to celebrate with the most joy, became a melancholy and he could not smile.

Now everyone in the palace knows about this, and the palace people's views on their master may be affected. If it spreads outside the palace, how will the people view the harem and the emperor?

The master's status is precious and cannot be easily touched. So how can the emperor stop the world from talking about it?

Langya was helpless. She didn't like Ruyi in the first place, and after this incident, she looked down on her even more. And because of her, the emperor didn't even want to listen to the dance song she had carefully prepared, which was really frustrating.

Langya consoled him, "Your Majesty, please take a look at the new dance that Concubine Jia has arranged. She has put a lot of effort into it."

Several princes also stood up and said that they hoped to spend more time with the Emperor so that they could fulfill their filial duties.

Only then did the emperor sit down again.

Langya toasted the emperor again and said many auspicious words, which made Hongli smile slightly and drink the toast.

Then came the Northern Dynasty's cheering dance, a new routine that Concubine Jia had worked hard to arrange. Each dancer wore a Northern Dynasty costume, full of vitality and with a unique style.

The emperor's anguish was slightly relieved, and he nodded to Concubine Jia, praising her for her thoughtfulness. Concubine Jia used tea instead of wine and drank a cup with the emperor.

The stagnant atmosphere improved a little and the emperor finally smiled.

This made everyone feel a little more relaxed, as there were still many songs and dances to be performed. The emperor would definitely forget about Concubine Xian's scandal for a while.

All the novel tricks prepared by the various palaces are waiting to make the emperor smile. It would be even more perfect if they could just praise him a few words and keep them in mind.

Hai Lan stood up and stepped forward when the cheering music ended but before any new song started.

She said to the emperor sincerely, "Your Majesty, although Concubine Xian cannot come to celebrate your birthday, she has prepared snacks by herself. I hope your Majesty can live a long and happy life and be remembered forever."

The emperor's smiling face suddenly turned into a hard iron plate. He glanced at the seat where Ruyi should have been sitting, but it was empty.

"Present it." The emperor supported his forehead and closed his eyes deeply.

Ye Xin then presented a tray with a plate of square-shaped white cakes on it, all the same size and delicate in appearance. There was also a red paper with the word "longevity" written on it. One could tell at a glance that the maker had put in a lot of effort.

The emperor recognized it; it was Ruyi's handwriting.

After Hailan presented it, she returned to her seat.

The pastries were placed in front of him, and the emperor just stared at the plate quietly, still supporting his forehead, without moving.

The originally flowing atmosphere began to stagnate again. The emperor had no interest in watching, and naturally there was no need to present the song and dance that followed immediately, otherwise it would only make the emperor unhappy.

Langya smiled appropriately, with just the right amount of care and consideration, and asked, "Your Majesty, if you don't want to eat, Concubine Jia has also prepared a lot of snacks from the Northern Dynasty, all of which are novel."

When Jin Yuyan heard the queen mention her goodness, she stood up with the help of Zhenshu and said in agreement, "Your Majesty, please at least taste what I prepared."

The emperor remained motionless like a sculpture. The queen glanced at Jin Yuyan, and Jin Yuyan ordered someone to serve some snacks.

These pastries were placed before the Emperor, the Empress, and the imperial concubines. They looked novel and completely different from the pastries in the palace.

"Your Majesty, please try the golden thread pie. This is a popular food in my mother's family, and it is very..." Jin Yuyan looked at the emperor flatteringly, her red lips still smiling, but before she could finish her words, the emperor had already stood up, holding the red paper with the word longevity written on it in his hand.

"No need." The emperor stood up and put his hands behind his back. There was a hint of red on his palms, which stung everyone's eyes.

Ye Xin leaned close to Hai Lan's ear and whispered to her, "Master, the emperor is leaving. Should we stop him?"

Hailan shook her head calmly, and the deep confidence in her tone had a reassuring magic.

She said, "It's okay, just wait a little longer."

"I'm tired, let's go back to the Yangxin Palace." The emperor said and was about to leave. Jinzhong hurried over and helped the emperor go back.

"Yes, we respectfully send off Your Majesty." The concubines stood up and said in unison.

Jin Yuyan's teeth were about to break, and the emperor didn't eat a single bite of the snacks she carefully prepared for her mother's family. It was all because Hailan insisted on sending Ruyi's food to him at this time, which made the emperor lose his mood and go back early.

Everyone looked at Hai Lan with unfriendly eyes. Some of them were not very favored and wanted to take this opportunity to please the emperor.

Although the Emperor might not like it after seeing it, by doing this, Concubine Yu has cut off their chances of gaining favor.

The smile on the queen's face disappeared. She frowned slightly, looking at Hailan's stubborn expression, as if she didn't think there was anything wrong with herself, and she felt unhappy.

Hailan and Ruyi are a pair of jerk. Neither of them is a good person. They deliberately make things difficult for her when she is happy.

She glanced at Hailan and said to Sulian, "Let's go."

Su Lian hurriedly supported her. The Queen Mother had drunk a lot of wine today, so she served her more carefully.

Su Lian quietly asked, "Empress, do you want to go to the Yangxin Palace to persuade the Emperor?"

Langya shook her head. "No need. The emperor is worried and needs some quiet time. Let's go back to Changchun Palace."

Seeing that the queen had left, everyone else also left one after another.

Jin Yuyan held her belly and turned to leave. When she passed Hailan who was still sitting on the chair, she squinted at her, sneered, and said, "Concubine Yu really wants the emperor to be unhappy."

Qing Changzai sneered at Hai Lan and said, "Empress Yu is very cunning." Then she quickly followed Concubine Jia and left.

Hai Lan's eyes were full of determination. She didn't care what others thought or said. She just wanted to rescue and protect her sister.

She looked in the direction of Yikun Palace, as if she wanted to see the person she had been thinking about day and night through the layers of brick walls.

Hailan's beautiful face was full of longing, and her pure eyes were filled with Ruyi's smile. She said with a little worry, "I hope they can succeed."

Ye Xin quickly responded, "Of course they will, Master. Eunuch Li Yu and Guard Ling will definitely succeed."
